Samuel Chukwueze has expressed his delight with his current form ahead of Fulham's Premier League clash with Christantus Uche's Crystal Palace on Sunday at Craven Cottage. 

After a challenging spell at AC Milan, where he struggled for game time and consistency, the Nigeria international has rediscovered his spark under manager Marco Silva.

Chukwueze has quickly won over the Fulham faithful, registering five goal involvements in his last six Premier League appearances. 

The 26-year-old credited Silva for his resurgence and pledged to give his all whenever called upon.

"I'm so happy, very happy with my form. I think the most important thing is the coach pushing me harder, making me focus no matter the game," Chukwueze told FFC tv.

"Every day is a new day. If you do assists, great; if you don't, you just have to keep your feet ready every moment, every ten minutes, every twenty minutes, you just have to be ready to give everything."

Chukwueze highlighted Fulham’s impressive home record this season, noting that the Cottagers have only been defeated by the league's top two clubs, Arsenal and Manchester City.

Fulham narrowly lost 1-0 to Arsenal before a thrilling 5-4 defeat against Manchester City in their most recent fixture at Craven Cottage.

"In our home games, we are good. Since I arrived, we have only lost to two big teams: Manchester City and Arsenal. Apart from that, we haven't lost any home game. We are strong in that aspect, and we are good.," Chukwueze added. 

Looking ahead to the London derby against Crystal Palace, Chukwueze stressed the importance of respecting their opponents while backing his team’s strength.

"Against Crystal Palace, we are going to give them the respect they deserve because they are also a good and strong side. We are strong as well, and we can give everything in that game."

Chukwueze has been named in Nigeria's provisional squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and he is expected to report for international duty after next weekend's trip to Burnley.
